The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

Huang Chen pushed the cart all the way to the big restaurant. From a distance, he could see that the door was not open and there were no lights on in the hall. He walked a little further, drove onto a small road, and came to the jewelry store.

The door of the jewelry store was still ajar, letting in a faint light. This was probably because the door here was much easier to open and close than the door of the big restaurant. During the time when the big restaurant was closed, people often walked here.

Huang Chen locked his bicycle on the side of the road, locked it to a drainpipe, and then walked into the store.

He glanced around casually and saw that it was still the same as during the day. None of the things on the counter had been sold. It seemed that Zhao and Yingrui had not opened the shop at all in the afternoon.

However, the chessboard where the girls played chess in the afternoon was still placed on the table next to the stairs, but the person sitting at the table now was not the two sisters who were always entangled in their sisterly relationship, but Zhenhai.

"Why are you alone? Where are Zhaohe and Yingrui?"

Huang Chen walked over and found that the girl was holding a chess piece in her hand, and the chessboard was also sparsely populated, as if she was playing chess with herself.

"Yingrui went to wash up. Zhaohe went to find Haiqi. They were probably practicing dancing. I heard them say these days that they wanted to try to cooperate in choreographing a dance." Zhenhai heard the noise, raised his head slightly, and saw that it was the commander. He immediately smiled and said.

Huang Chen nodded without saying anything, walked silently to the table, stood there and stared at the chessboard.

Zhenhai held the chess piece in his hand and wavered on the chessboard. After a long time, he still didn't put it down. Finally, he put it aside helplessly, raised his head and pursed his lips, "Commander?"

"I'm just watching. I've never seen anyone playing chess with themselves." Huang Chen answered a little embarrassedly. He pulled a chair over and sat down, looking aside to make the atmosphere less awkward.

Zhenhai put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box, leaned on the table and stroked his cheek with one hand, "Commander, can you play chess?"

"I... shouldn't it be?" Huang Chen thought about it.

"You don't know Gomoku or Xiangqi?"

"Of course, but not Go." Huang Chen scratched his chin and looked at the chessboard in front of him. The black and white pieces were placed in an alternating pattern. It looked no different from Gobang, but the underlying rules were incomprehensible.

He had thought about learning Go before, mainly because it looked impressive, but he bought a set of Go and studied it for a long time. He still couldn't figure out all the terms and rules like Qi and Ti, and in the end he could only play Gobang.

Of course, another reason is that I didn’t know any friends who could play Go, and after studying it alone for a short while, I lost interest.

Zhenhai chuckled at the words, and with his slender fingers, he pulled a black chess piece from the chess box and held it between his fingers. His slender white fingers and the shimmering chess piece looked particularly clean and white.

"Playing Gobang and Xiangqi against oneself is quite difficult. This is because in order to win, the planning and strategy often need to be concealed and disguised."

"When you win, you have to take the enemy by surprise, but it must be over in a split second."

"But Go is different. Compared to chess and five-in-a-row, it's a much longer process. Winning or losing comes from gradual accumulation. Even if you sometimes make a brilliant move, it's based on accumulation."

"For me, Go is more like a battle than chess. You can use two different styles to command two different armies to collide."

Huang Chen nodded. He didn't expect that there were so many tricks in playing chess. He was about to say something when he saw Zhenhai suddenly put the chess pieces on the chessboard into the chess box.

"This is……"

He suddenly felt uneasy, thinking that it was he who came over and interrupted the girl's thoughts.

"But even so, a one-man game can hardly compare to the fun of two-man scheming." Zhenhai chuckled and put away the chessboard. "Commander, play with me for another round."

“But I really don’t know how to play Go…”

"Gomoku is fine too," Zhenhai said nonchalantly. He quickly collected the chess pieces and handed them over with a black chess box in his hand. "Commander, first?"

"Well."

Having said that, Huang Chen naturally had no reason to refuse. In fact, he was eager to try it when he saw Zhao and Ying Rui playing chess in the afternoon, but the girls were playing Go, and he was embarrassed to ask them to play Gobang with him.

Now that Zhenhai has taken the initiative to propose, how can he refuse?

"Do you want to stop?"

Huang Chen took the chess box, put his hand in it, felt the round and smooth chess pieces sliding between his fingers, and said excitedly.

"Commander, do you know the forbidden move?" Zhenhai said with some surprise, the look in his eyes much brighter than before.

"I know a little bit." Huang Chen said with some complacency.

There was a time when Gobang was popular in my class during middle school, just like there was a time when chess, Rubik's Cube and reading novels were popular.

At first everyone played randomly, but soon a clever guy figured out a sure-win method of taking the initiative, and he immediately became invincible in the class.

Others also learned this method through lunch after many failures.

As all the students knew about the method, no one was willing to play the last move. Seeing that the Gobang trend was about to fade away, someone proposed a ban based on the rules read in the book, which at least kept the trend alive.

But it was soon overshadowed by the trend of reading novels. Huang Chen thought about it for a long time and thought that maybe it was because this thing was getting more and more hardcore that people were unable to keep up.

However, Huang Chen thought that he was quite good at Gobang. At that time, he won more than he lost. When he met an opponent with poor skills, he could even let him make the first move without stopping him. It didn't matter.

"Let me make it clear first, don't let go of the water." Huang Chen picked up a chess piece and said seriously.

"Well, Commander, make your move." Zhenhai stared at the chessboard with a serious look.

As the chess pieces fell, the board was soon filled with chess pieces. Huang Chen's brows gradually furrowed, and he held the chess pieces hesitantly, moving slower and slower.

Zhenhai also stared at the chess piece, and suddenly whispered, "How about we make the first move?"

"Okay." Huang Chen nodded calmly.

Chapter 620 Sure enough, this is still interesting enough

So playing chess requires not only talent but also a lot of learning and training.

Even if it is just a simple game of Gobang, compared with a real master, some of the little cleverness that seems useful and some of the little tricks that are usually quite effective lose their effect.

Although Huang Chen thought he was quite good, he hadn't played Gobang for a long time. Considering the rules of forbidden moves and the strength of his opponent, he was completely restricted and became undecided.

In the end, he simply admitted defeat, allowing Zhenhai to take the first move and untie himself.

However, even so, it is still difficult to move forward. If you are not careful, you will fall into Zhenhai's trap, be restrained, and fall into the opponent's trap.

But it was much better than before. Huang Chen was able to launch many useful counterattacks and use some techniques and tricks.

Even though I still lost in the end, at least I felt like I tried my best.

"Commander, you're actually quite formidable. At least at Gomoku, you're not much behind Zhao He."

After the game was over, Zhenhai was packing up the chess pieces. Seeing that he looked depressed, he immediately felt comforted.

"Zhao He? How does Zhao He's skills compare to everyone else's?" Huang Chen asked.

"It's lower than Yingrui and Yixian, but higher than Fushun and Pinghai."

Huang Chen stopped talking immediately. Fushun and Pinghai, the two of them, don’t usually know how to play chess, right?

"I was just kidding. In fact, the commander's skills are already higher than Ying Rui's." Zhenhai explained with a chuckle.

Huang Chen shook his head, feeling that the girl's words of comfort were too perfunctory.

"One more game," he said after clearing the chessboard.

"Okay." Zhenhai chuckled and was about to make his move when Zhaohe's voice suddenly came from the stairs behind him, "Zhenhai, it's your turn. It's time to take a shower... Um, is the commander here too?"

Zhenhai chuckled, put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box, and looked up at the commander. "It's getting late. Should we stop here for tonight?"

"Yeah." Huang Chen nodded, even though he was unwilling to accept it. He completely admired Zhen Hai's skill, but he felt a little frustrated that he hadn't won a single match that night.

Thinking of this, his eyes immediately fell on Zhaohe who was wiping his hair.

The latter's hair is very distinctive, half silver and half scarlet. If the girl is not a ship girl, I think she would not be able to control such a difficult hair color.

The girl had probably just finished a shower, her hair was wet and she was wiping it carefully with a towel. Noticing Huang Chen's gaze, she immediately asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I remember... you just washed your hair yesterday, right?" Huang Chen said casually, holding the chess piece in his hand and stopping Zhenhai from putting away the chessboard.

"Well, I just did some exercise and I'm sweating a little." Zhao He explained awkwardly, feeling unexpectedly embarrassed.

Huang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Choreographing a dance with Haiqi?"

"How did you know?" Zhao He stared, stepped aside to let Zhen Hai pass, and when he reached the bottom of the stairs, he suddenly realized, "Zhen Hai told you, right? Seriously."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Zhao He is obviously very good at dancing." Huang Chen shook his head and tapped his fingertips lightly on the chessboard, making a muffled sound. "Want a round?"

"Go? My skills are just average..." Zhao He frowned slightly.

"It's Gobang. I don't know anything about Go." Huang Chen said nonchalantly, asked the girl to sit over, and handed her the black chess box.

He still remembered what Zhenhai had said just now. They had been playing chess for such a long time tonight, so he had to win no matter what, right?

"Gobang." Zhao He thought for a moment, nodded, and looked at the chess box in his hand. "Black, shall I go first?"

Huang Chen nodded, holding the chess piece and waiting.

"Okay." Zhao He made his move casually, then suddenly scratched his head as if remembering something. "Hey, I remember there were some rules for going first in Go..."

"It doesn't matter, just play casually." Huang Chen shook his head, suddenly realizing that the girl in front of him might be a complete novice.

As expected, even without the restriction of forbidden moves, Zhao He was beaten back by Huang Chen step by step, soon fell into a disadvantage, and then lost the game.

"Huh, I told you my level is just average." Zhao He let out a long sigh, picked up the towel and continued to wipe his hair.

Huang Chen looked at the chessboard silently. Perhaps it was because the opponent was a complete novice. Although he won this game, it was meaningless.

Of course, the strangest thing is that this girl actually accepted her defeat calmly. Is this still Zhao He?

He raised his head and stared at the girl with a strange expression.

"What, what happened? Didn't I lose?" Zhao He was a little confused. He gradually slowed down the action of wiping his hair and looked around in confusion while holding the towel.

"You..." Huang Chen opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to describe his current thoughts. "Why did you admit defeat so cleanly?"

"What else? Isn't this already a loss?" Zhao He was puzzled.

Given your personality, shouldn't you first beg me to retract my move, and then, when you find that retraction isn't possible, shamelessly ask me to let you go and not make that move? In short, you won't give in so easily.

Even though he thought so, Huang Chen said nothing and just shook his head.

Zhao He's expression changed, "Commander, you don't think I'm the kind of person who can't stand losing, do you?"

"Well..." Huang Chen scratched his head. Although he didn't think so, the scene he just imagined was just about a guy who couldn't afford to lose.

"That's too much!" Zhao He seemed a little unhappy. "Playing chess, playing chess, naturally there are wins and losses. I rarely practice Gomoku and I'm not good at it, so losing is normal. How could it be like what the Commander thinks?"

"I haven't said anything yet!" Huang Chen defended.

The girl just shook her head. "I can see what the commander is thinking right away. It's really excessive."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I was judging others by my own standards. I underestimated Master Zhao He." Huang Chen immediately raised his hand and threw it at

Zhao He blushed and became a little embarrassed, twisting the hair beside his ear with his fingers, "Not really, hey, how about we play chess? I'm pretty good at chess."

"Really?" Huang Chen nodded and watched the girl take out the chess set from the cabinet beside her and set it up excitedly.

"Commander, please play red." Zhao He said confidently.

Huang Chen didn't say anything, but he became serious in his heart. His chess skills were only average. Sometimes he could beat the old man under the overpass. Could he beat Zhao He?

He had no idea what to do, so he could only give it his all.

Soon the round was over. Zhaohe draped the towel over his shoulders, letting his wet hair hang loose. "One more round."

Huang Chen raised the corner of his mouth but didn't laugh out loud.

As expected, it is more fun to win when the opponent is giving it his all.

Chapter 621 Are you ready?

The next morning, the girls began to pack their luggage again.

Although part of it had been sent back through logistics before, considering the sudden appearance of Yubari and Wakatsuki, the already narrow chance of number two would become even narrower.

Therefore, some things that could be carried with you at any time before now have to be sent through logistics.

Fortunately, this is not troublesome, or in other words, for ship girls, there are very few things that they really need to carry with them.

As an ordinary person, Huang Chen at least needs to prepare clothes, emergency medicine, and some daily necessities. But the girls don't need these.

Of course, the situation wasn’t so urgent that they couldn’t even bring a change of clothes, so the girls could still carry a small bag with them.

After breakfast, the girls packed up their things, while Huang Chen remembered his promise from yesterday and planned to go to the Kancolle headquarters to see how Yubari and the others were packing.

He was about to go out, but when he turned around, he saw Harbin squatting by the stairs, holding a book that he had gotten from somewhere, and reading it happily.

"Are you free?"

"I'm free!" Harbin glanced up at him and continued reading. "They all have to pack their bags, but I don't."

"If you have time, accompany me to the KanColle headquarters." Huang Chen said.

"Looking for Yubari and Wakatsuki?" The girl didn't even think twice and immediately shook her head, "No."

"What's wrong?"
